The sentiments were echoed by President Pierre Buyoya, speaking on his return from Nyerere’s state funeral on Thursday. Stressing that the peace process would continue, he said: “We will capitalise on the results achieved so far.” “We want the peace process to be inclusive...we also want the issue of violence to be considered as the most important, and a ceasefire to be negotiated first. Then a peace agreement can follow,” he told reporters, according to Burundi radio.
